Darkroom Demons Blurb

Sarah Dope — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:18:20 +0000

In case you missed my retweet the other day (or aren’t on Twitter at all), Tyler Curtis (aka Tyliner) of DarkroomDemons.com snapped this shot of me while I was visiting Chicago recently.

Aside from publicly calling me out for missing the Kill Hannah show by a day, he also wrote some kind words about me to feed my ego here.

Oh, and other than the gloves, boots, and purse… I’m sporting all Skingraft!

Zoltan Bathory of 5FDP – 12.18.2011

Sarah Dope — Mon, 19 Dec 2011 22:03:01 +0000

I flew into Chicago over the weekend to visit some friends and catch the last show on Five Finger Death Punch’s Share The Welt tour. As I sit here at the airport, editing and resizing photos while I wait on my flight, I thought I might share one of my favorite shots of the night.

This, my friends, is why Zoltan is probably one of my favorite people to shoot on the stage. He’s always lookin’ out for me and works it.

2011 Inside Gaming Awards Wrap-Up

Sarah Dope — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 07:49:48 +0000

This past Friday night, we (Machinima) held our third annual Inside Gaming Awards at the Music Box in Hollywood, CA, sponsored by Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Our Gamers’ Choice Award this year was sponsored by Verizon. Porter Robinson was our guest DJ.

Oh live production. Some last-minute emergencies came up and I unexpectedly got thrown in to a 12-hour production day/night. This, of course, wasn’t going to stop me from looking good while handling a few firedrills with grace. It wasn’t exactly what I originally had in mind for my night, but the way things went, I’m not going to complain. I still had an amazing night, just in a different way.

So if you missed the live stream of the show, you can actually watch the full thing on YouTube now. It starts about 35 minutes in:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBCUmYsxxWk

I was in charge of that live Twitter ticker, some of the lower-thirds, and helping the lovely Jes V with the check-ins from the Social Stage. The amount of screens that we all had to pay attention to made me feel like I was working at a space station. It was definitely the biggest production I’ve had to work for Machinima.

Ground Control to Major Tom...

While running the social aspect of everything, and with the help of our wonderful fans, friends, directors, partners, colleagues, etc… we managed to get #IGAs the top trending topic WORLDWIDE… and all organically (and if you know anything about social media, you know that this isn’t an easy thing to do)!

So a HUGE thanks goes out to each and every one of you who made that happen. It was a great little parting gift for a “social media queen” during her final days with the company. This week is my last week with Machinima before I take a vacation, then begin my new job. I’ll say farewell to you for now, but trust me, this most definitely isn’t goodbye!

…Oh, and for those who were curious about the things I was sporting, here’s a little diagram for you:

The 2011 IGAs, Farewell Machinima, Hello theAudience!

Sarah Dope — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:19:40 +0000

In 2009, Philip Debevoise invited me Machinima’s first annual Inside Gaming Awards. I was invited as a client/business partner (Disney) and brought along two of my friends who I knew wanted new jobs: Elissa and Ricky… who would both eventually end up hired into the company.

In 2010, I attended the second annual Inside Gaming Awards as a new recruit. They happened the night after my final day at Disney and I was toasting with Philip on a new beginning.

Now here we are at 2011 with the third annual Inside Gaming Awards. Originally, I was going to be attending as a full-on employee… but I will also actually be toasting my departure from the company.

As some of you might have heard through the grapevine, I recently turned in my resignation for Machinima.com. My last day is next Friday, the 16th… and I will be ringing in the new year by starting a new adventure with some old friends/colleagues at a social media/creative company called theAudience working with some phenomenal clients that I used to only dream of working with when I was younger.

Oh yeah… and, with theAudience, I’m returning to music.

Thank you to everyone for their support, and although I expect some fans to discontinue following me because of this, I hope the majority of you will stick around… especially if you’re a fan of a variety of genres of music. Exciting things are coming in 2012…

So while I’m still with the ol’ “M”, please tune in to our live stream of our third annual Inside Gaming Awards tonight from 7pm-12am (PST) at MachinimaLive.com.

Also, for those in Chicago, I’ll be with you on December 18th to support my boys in Five Finger Death Punch at the Riviera Theatre. It’s the last date on the “Share the Welt Tour”, so come rock out!
